deeno .. You would have to google "hybrid charger specs" or something like that to get the appropriate numbers for amps and volts .. also your rate of .21/Kwh sounds real high to me .. I'm paying .13 in Ct and that includes a .05/kwh fuel surcharge .. But here goes .. 20 amps X 220 volts X 8 hours = 32,000 watts 32,000 watts X 0.21 / 1000 = $6.72 to 'refill' your EV Since you have 'smart metering' at your location, check what rate you would be charged for night time usage .. I'd bet that they'd offer you an attractive off-peak rate Triff ..
